Pick your poison...

Child Stars: Then and Now

Rock Stars: Then and Now

The respective ages of some of the biggest rock stars of my teen years:

- Joan Jett, 51

- Eddie Van Halen, 55 (David Lee Roth will turn 57 this year)

- Pat Benatar, 57

- Jon Bon Jovi, 58

- Bruce Springsteen, 60

- the "Heart" sisters, 56 and 60

- Stevie Nicks, 62

- Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane/Starship), 70

Other stuff I find mildly depressing...

- "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story" is now 40 and working as a producer/director.

- Little Raven Simone of the Cosby Show was born the same year I graduated high school.

- Steve Perry of Journey has had hip replacement surgery.

- one of the Family Matters kids wound up in porn

- "Zach" from "Saved by the Bell is pushing 40 ("Screech" has a sex tape).

- One of the kids from "Hanson" is married and has a son.

Of course, there's also the fact that half the child stars - from the "Sixth Sense" kid to the Olsen Twins to Lindsay Lohan - have all been in rehab for one thing or another. Plus the knowledge that while the older stars of "Diff'rent Strokes" are still alive, two of the three child stars are dead.

Oy :(

How about watching Tim Hardaway's son play in the NCAA tourney today?

I remember Tim as a rookie.

There are quite a few players in the NFL today that I can look at and say "I remember his father" :(

[Mr. Scot]

For those who hadn't seen it:

New Panthers assistant OL coach Ray Brown played quite a while in the NFL. It came home to him just how long when he met a new young teammate with a familiar name.

He walked over and greeted the kid, telling him "You know, there was another guy with the same name as you playing in the NFL back when I first started."

The kid replied "I know. He's my Dad" :eek:

It was at that moment that Brown decided it might be time to think about retiring :lol:

Stephanie from Full House was addicted to meth?! I never knew that. Some interesting stuff in there.

If they're former child stars, not being in rehab is the exception :nonod:
